Job Description

Ready to launch your engineering career? We're growing rapidly and have multiple openings for talented engineers who want to work with advanced semiconductor technologies and make a real impact from day one.

Join our Semiconductor Assembly Engineering team and take ownership of some of the most critical processes in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. As a Process & Equipment Engineer, you will work directly with state-of-the-art Die Bond and Wire Bond equipment in a high-volume Reel-to-Reel (R2R) production environment, driving yield improvements, equipment performance, and next-generation product introductions.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy hands-on technical work, data analysis, continuous improvement projects, and making a visible impact on manufacturing performance.

What You'll Do

As the technical owner for Die Bond or Wire Bond processes, you will:

• Ensure stable and efficient operation of manufacturing equipment and processes.
• Monitor and improve equipment uptime, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), yield, and product quality.
• Set up, calibrate, qualify, and optimize production equipment and tooling.
• Troubleshoot process and equipment issues using structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Apply engineering tools such as DOE, FMEA, SPC, and Root Cause Analysis to solve complex manufacturing challenges.
• Analyze manufacturing data, identify trends, and implement improvements using tools such as Excel, Power BI, Spotfire, or similar platforms.
• Lead and support New Product Introduction (NPI), product conversions, and material qualifications.
• Develop and optimize bonding parameters to improve process capability and manufacturing robustness.
• Drive automation, digital controls, recipe management, and poka-yoke solutions to prevent defects and improve reliability.
• Partner closely with Production, Quality, Product Engineering, and Design teams to achieve operational excellence.
• Create technical documentation, SOPs, and troubleshooting guides.
• Train and mentor technicians and operators to build strong technical capability across the production floor.
• Lead continuous improvement projects focused on productivity, cost reduction, and quality enhancement.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 2–3 years of experience in semiconductor backend manufacturing, preferably in Die Bond and/or Wire Bond processes.
• Hands-on experience with equipment setup, troubleshooting, calibration, and process optimization.
• Understanding of yield improvement, process capability (Cpk), and manufacturing KPIs.
• Experience using structured problem-solving tools such as DOE, FMEA, SPC, 8D, or similar methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work with manufacturing data.
• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and qualification activities.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• A proactive mindset, curiosity to learn, and a passion for continuous improvement.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience in Reel-to-Reel (R2R) assembly processes.
• Knowledge of Power BI, Spotfire, SQL, Python, or automation tools.
• Experience implementing digital manufacturing controls or Industry 4.0 initiatives.
• Exposure to automotive or high-reliability semiconductor products.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

You're someone who:

• Loves understanding how machines work and how to make them perform better.
• Enjoys solving technical problems using both data and hands-on investigation.
• Wants ownership and visibility for the projects you deliver.
• Is excited by fast-paced manufacturing environments where every improvement matters.
• Sees challenges as opportunities to innovate.

Why Join Us?

• Work with advanced semiconductor assembly technologies
• Drive real improvements in yield, quality, automation, and productivity
• Gain exposure to New Product Introduction (NPI) and industrialization
• Collaborate with experts across Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, and R&D
• Develop skills in data analytics, process optimization, and Industry 4.0 tools
• Build your career in one of Malaysia's fastest-growing high-tech industries
